north-star-selection

What problem does it solve?

Helps product teams select a single, meaningful North Star Metric from a set of candidate metrics, replacing vanity metrics with a clear guiding metric that aligns efforts and strategy.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured evaluation: Applies a proven scoring framework (value, revenue relation, measurability, actionability, understandability) to rank candidates.
• Decision guardrails: Includes a vanity-vs-value check to filter out misleading metrics and ensure alignment with business goals.
• Operational workflow: Guides data gathering, defines evaluation criteria, and outputs a ranked recommendation with rationale for leadership reviews.
• Real-world use case: When choosing among metrics like weekly active users vs. revenue per user, this skill systematically evaluates and recommends the best NSM.

Quick Start

Provide the top three candidate NSMs and run the NSM evaluation.
